Chapter 36: The Villain's Ambition
Sometimes things are always unexpected, and when Qin Ze came to the warehouse and saw the spinning wheel, he really wanted to break the eyes of the rat master and let him take a good look at it.
It was as if the spinning wheel had gone through countless years was lying in the corner, covered with dust and cobwebs. Nothing but a wooden shelf.
But fortunately, with a foot pedal, the requirements for the spinning wheel should not be high. Moreover, the rat master is really not a person who can communicate, as long as Qin Ze starts counting down this spinning wheel, he keeps nodding. Qin Ze was also powerless.
Qin Ze was very suspicious of how the rat master had gotten into the matter until now, but he was really too lazy to entangle with him.
It's easy to say that the thing about adding a foot pedal is that Zhang Laohan, who was looking for a chair last time, was very grateful to Qin Ze.
Qin Zeke heard that since he made a set of chairs for the Cheng family, this thing has become popular in high society.
And those things that ordinary people use when they see the upper class, naturally they also use them together. However, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, when there was no intellectual property rights, people's renovation speed was also very fast, and fortunately, this guy's brain was still bright, so he could still get by.
Qin Ze planned to find Zhang Laohan, after all, he was someone he knew.
The matter of modifying the spinning wheel, Qin Ze planned to carry it out in this weaving workshop. First, this thing is so huge that it is difficult for him and Erhu to move it back. Second, Qin Ze didn't think that this thing could afford to toss back and forth.
Next to the storehouse of the weaving mill there were two rooms, one of which was occupied by the rat master, and the other was empty.
Qin Ze and Erhu moved the spinning wheel to the guest room, and asked him to invite Zhang Laohan to come.
The transformation of the pedal-driven spinning wheel appeared in the Song Dynasty, and the pedal-driven method was not replaced until the advent of the motor.
This thing is also simple to say, especially for Qin Ze, who studied machinery in college, it is even simpler. A pedal and a crank rocker are its core structure.
The reason why it took three days was entirely because the processing was very backward at this time, and it was in a period of full manual, so the time naturally took a long time.
Qin Ze asked Wang Yuxi for paper and pen, and lay down in the room alone and drew a structural drawing. Without special tools, Qin Ze painted extremely slowly. People who have never used a brush suddenly use a brush and it is strange that they can get up quickly. However, it was also painted before Zhang Laohan arrived.
"This thing is called a foot pedal, you see that there are two wooden poles connected to these two sides, and this pedal should not be too small, it must be exactly half the size of a pair of feet......
Qin Ze took the picture and began to explain to the spinning wheel. It doesn't matter if the other party understands it or not, he finished everything in one go, and then waited for Zhang Laohan.
Zhang Laohan took the drawings and looked at them for a long time, and then he could understand them. After looking at the loom for a while, he said with some hesitation: "Young Master Qin, the old man you said understands it, it's this spinning wheel......"
Zhang Laohan pointed to the spinning wheel, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Although he didn't know what Qin Ze had to do with this, it sounded a little interesting. And Qin Ze is not an ordinary person in his heart, as evidenced by the table and chair last time.
Qin Ze also looked helpless, he thought that it would be enough to have a shelf, but he didn't think that he had seen a foot pedal, so it was very easy to understand. But Zhang Laohan has never seen it, and without a good spinning wheel, he definitely has no way to start.
There was no way, Qin Ze could only be cheeky to find Wang Yuxi, she would still be in the courtyard where she was weaving before.
For those girls with a spicy temperament, Qin Ze also had a headache, so he didn't want to go there if he had nothing to do. But now there is no way, if you can't finish this, you will have to pick the water of this weaving mill by yourself.
Squeezing out a smiling face, Qin Ze returned to the place where the cloth was weaving. But before Qin Ze could speak, Wang Yuxi spoke first: "It's okay in the future, don't enter here, they are all women who have not left the pavilion, what do you mean by a son entering here?"
Qin Ze looked at it, isn't it. Weaving requires ingenious people, and stout men naturally can't, so all the girls here are fifteen or sixteen years old.
At that moment, his neck shrunk, and he said with a sneer: "I just came to ask, can you lend me a spinning wheel?"
"What the hell are you going to do?" Wang Yuxi asked in a cold voice with a cold face.
Qin Zexin said that I really wasn't messing around, but I also knew that Wang Yuxi didn't believe in himself. gave the drawings he drew to Wang Yuxi: "Look at this, this is what I think."
Otherwise, Wang Yuxi was smart, but after looking at it for a moment, the originally cold pretty face turned into a look of surprise.
Seeing Wang Yuxi's expression, Qin Ze also raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it?" I'm smart, right? ”
Kicking the nose and face is Qin Ze's natural skill, Wang Yuxi gave him a blank look, and asked Chunxiang to call the rat master and give a few orders. moved a new spinning wheel for Qin Ze.
The spinning wheel belonged to Sister Dahua, when the rat boss proposed to find the spinning wheel. She smiled and let the spinning wheel out, and threatened that if Qin Ze made it, she would be the first to let her try.
Qin Ze naturally nodded in agreement, of course there was no problem with this.
On the other side, Wang Yuxi, who looked at Qin Ze with a happy face, found that he couldn't see through Qin Ze more and more, as if this person had several different holes.
Sometimes the talent is spoken, and the song "Funeral Flower Yin" amazes many people. Sometimes he is ignorant and can't read, but he will always surprise you one after another.
"What an interesting person." Wang Yuxi whispered in her heart, but she unconsciously let out a chuckle.
Chunxiang on the other side also saw this scene, and immediately her eyes widened, this was the first time she saw Wang Yuxi show such an expression, especially when facing a person of the opposite sex.
In the past, the young lady even had resistance to all men because of her thin personality. Although others can't see it, Haruka knows it, especially the young lady would smile for a person of the opposite sex, which makes even more sense.
Seeing that her young lady had regained her previous calm, Haruka didn't say what she thought in her heart after all. Just looked at Qin Ze, who was clumsy, and moved the spinning wheel out little by little.
Men are not allowed to come in here, and Qin Ze is unwilling to let Sister Dahua help him, so he can only move out by himself, little by little.
It's just a clumsy movement, but it provokes a burst of laughter from everyone behind him.
handed over the spinning wheel to Zhang Laohan and studied it with him, and Qin Ze returned to his home with Erhu.
He didn't dare to walk at night now, and the last Taoist assassination made him feel uneasy. Although he escaped in the end, he also paid the price of five wish points. And who can guarantee that next time, Qin Ze will also escape.
However, there was one thing that made Qin Ze happy, and that was that he was being followed.
If there is anything to be happy about being followed, it is not that he has not been followed. But this time it is different, the other party is obviously not from the Taoist side, and it is very likely that he is from the imperial court.
Three days passed in a flash, and with the efforts of Qin Ze and Zhang Laohan, Datang's first pedal spinning wheel was finally born.
Although neither of them knew how to weave, Zhang Laohan knew the value of this thing, so even if Qin Ze allowed him to make it this time, he didn't dare to ask for it again.
According to his meaning, if this thing is handed over to the imperial court, it is estimated that he can enter the prison and become an official craftsman. He didn't dare to touch it again, and persuaded Qin Ze to dedicate this to the imperial court, maybe he could change to an official and a half-position.
Qin Ze naturally didn't care about this, if he really wanted to give himself an official position, he wouldn't have rewarded himself with just a few copper coins last time.
Waving his hand to interrupt Zhang Laohan's words, Qin Ze couldn't wait to see Wang Yuxi's reaction.
waited until the sun rose, and then waited for Wang Yuxi. Seeing that the main owner was coming, Qin Ze pushed the weaving cart out very proudly.
The first experiment must be Sister Dahua, Qin Ze promised her that day. At first, she wasn't very familiar with it, and there was no way to control the speed of her feet, so she would always get the crank stuck.
It seriously affected Qin Ze's progress in wanting to pretend, but under Qin Ze's careful explanation, she soon mastered the use of it proficiently, and she stepped on it faster and faster.
Since you no longer have to turn the wooden wheel by hand, you can keep kneading the silk thread by hand. So the speed is more than four times faster.
The girls who were still applauding were also wide-eyed, and they didn't believe their eyes at all.
One by one, they surrounded Sister Dahua and asked this and that.
Have you asked if you are tired of stepping on your feet?
Have you asked if it's so comfortable?
At the end, everyone looked at Qin Ze again with a look of adoration.
Facing the admiration of the girls, Qin Ze raised his head very cooperatively, and said to Wang Yuxi on the side: "Yuxi, why don't you try it too?"
Although Qin Ze was calm, anyone could see that there was a forced smile on his face.
Wang Yuxi gritted her teeth, glanced at Qin Ze fiercely, and ignored him with a cold snort.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Qin Ze was suddenly in a hurry, pointed to the spinning wheel and said, "Yuxi, you are really not tired when you try it, and I will tell you quietly, it is more comfortable to step on it when you take off your shoes."
The ghost will believe his words, Wang Yuxi knows that at this time, he must not pay attention to him, otherwise this guy will definitely be on the nose and face.
He didn't speak at the moment, turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Qin Ze didn't follow, and hurriedly followed.
Wang Yuxi wanted to find Zhang Laohan and ask him to transform all the weaving cars, so Qin Ze hurriedly leaned over and said, "Yuxi, I have already told Zhang Laohan, you can rest assured."
Wang Yuxi asked the rat to arrange the transformed spinning wheel, and Qin Ze said on the side: "Yuxi, I have promised to give this spinning wheel to Sister Dahua first."
In short, no matter where Wang Yuxi goes, Qin Ze will follow. No matter what Wang Yuxi says, Qin Ze will come up. Without saying a word, I will first call Yuxi affectionately.
In the end, even Wang Yuxi couldn't stand it anymore, and when he saw that Qin Ze was about to speak again, he stepped on him as soon as he turned around and stomped on him.
